Who tied this?

[stcroixguy]

Last year I hosted a couple of fly swaps. One tier sent some extras for the swap master,

This fly:
B733A849-188D-456E-95B2-6F84BBC3F7CB.jpg

I had the opportunity to use this fly on the Henery?s Fork, Firehole and the Madison with great success!
My Guide on the Henery?s Fork was super impressed with it also, and he fishes 200 days a year and sees a crazy huge amount of flys in action.

This fly accounted for dozens of fish, was DEADLY on the Firehole.

Here is the thing, I lost the tiers info, and I wanted to thank him/her for the flys and relay the success of the fly.

I would really like to know who sent me these flys, and get the exact recipe.

Or, just SELL me 2dozen and I will give some away to all my fly fishing friends for Christmas.

Feel free to reply here or IM me..

Thanks in advance!

A generic soft hackle bead head. Sort of a pheasant tail bead head soft hackle.

Just returned from fishing the Henry’s Fork, and this little Flav pattern was working for all of us!!

Don’t know who tied it but looks like a Hotwire Nymph of some sort tied on a vertical eyed jig hook. Guessing on the materials, pic is a bit blurry

tail - partridge
abdomen - gold/brown wire
thorax - Ice Dub peacock
hackle - partridge
hotspot - fluoro orange thread or a bit of dubbing
bead - gold (slotted)

Not a particularly difficult tie; either you could do it or you could pay someone.

With my fat fingers, and bad eyes.

Here is my first attempt.
Waiting on a finer wire and a different cape.

I think the fish will be fine with your fly.

Thanks Dennis.

I sent off an IM to John.

To bad there isn’t more interest in fly swaps on this board anymore..I really enjoy them.
